What did you do to your Tremor today?

The last couple min of my drive, I shut the A/C off, and just let the fan blow on high. I think that helps with getting rid of most of the built up water in the unit.

I do the same but set it to Hi (one up from 85deg) so it blows warm air for 3 minutes. My wife hates when i do it so i open the windows on a 90 deg days:)
 
My left blinker started flashing and clicking very fast. Obviously it needed a new bulb on the left. I took it to Ford and they fixed it. Here's the part that made me laugh. These trucks are so "smart" that they have to be programmed to know a new bulb was installed.

Tomorrow I am taking it in to get the inoperable bed camera replaced, hopefully, and have them fix the inop GPS. Which, by the way, I was told was probably caused by an OTA update that was interrupted.
 
What might be my new favorite mod…

Nobody is stealing my lights now!

Do you have to pull the fender liner to get to this or can it be reached another way?
No Sir. I laid under the truck and reached up behind the liner. There is plenty of room between liner and firewall to work . I didnt have any issues working on it that way.

Another reason I did the extension, was to get most of the drained water away from the trucks frame , and any other components it would have drained all over.

I’m pretty sure the issue is addressed on the new gen where water ends up in the cab, but all that ac water still hits the frame all over on exit. So i plan to install an extension similar to how i did it on my 22 for the water to straight hit the ground.
 
Received and installed pre-production TailGuard brackets from @OmahaBravo to replace my old latchlid pair and can't be any more happy and pleased! :D 🍻 @OmahaBravo Did a great job designing these!

Note: Yours will be pre-finished and a higher quality powdercoat finish than what I used. I have some things coming up, so I needed to knock this out completely today. Also, this version was for my truck that has supplemental bed light switches I installed, yours will be more aesthetically pleasing. Mine came raw and I tumbled them, Scotch-Brited, and applied some Herculiner aerosol product to them.

I got some 1/2"-13x1.5" Stainless carriage bolts at Lowe's and Tig welded the 'GBO' debossed text markings on the head away so they disappeared. Then, I powdercoated the heads of the bolts. Yours will include Stainless black oxide bolts.

Thank you again @OmahaBravo for this great product.

@BroncOh, you are too nice.

The part of the story he's not telling is that I made a change to the passenger-side bracket dimensions. Just a small change so i didnt think it was a big deal and moved towards production.
Well, this same change was also received by @BroncOh and he pointed out "did you mean to do this". Well, i meant to make a change but i didnt mean for it to affect THAT.
Because of him, I was able to stop production so I could perform another round of tests. This saved me from receiving bad parts and potentially shipping them out to folks who just want something that works. It also saved me a decent bit of money.

Im sharing this because I appreciate/respect him for what he did. I was looking forward to helping him but he ended up helping me.

Can you make brackets for beds? Not truck beds, you know, bedroom beds. Don't ask. Thank you so much.
 
Well I cleaned mine up and fixing to drop it off at the dealership because the air conditioning started blowing hot air with just 2800 hundred miles on it. From what I’m reading on this forum it’s the compressor that’s went bad and guess what they’re on national back order 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️
 
Got the full kitchen drawer system installed. Looking pretty spiffy.

200L of water
200ah lithium setup
Lots more hidden features

The sink drains to one of the 5th wheel ports and the power cables enter through another. 👌

That is the Warn "Trans4mer Gen III - bumper push bar". It has some great light mounting options.
How does it mount? I’ve been eyeballing it for a while now but can’t find much info on it. How do you like it? Any info on it someone possibly wanting to purchase might find useful? Thanks!

I had a hard time finding any info too. I went into it with a "try it and see" mentality. That being said, I was pleasantly surprised and really like it. The manufacturing quality, fit, and finish are all top notch. The bar does block the fog lights. So keep that in mind.

Installation was pretty easy. It uses 4 of the bumper bolts to hold it on. You have to pull the license plate bracket and the tow hook dust covers to mount it. I trimmed the dust shields and reinstalled them. I included a picture so you can see. If you have adaptive cruise you will have to get a relocation bracket for it and move it. That's pretty much it.

Sorry about the bugs. I drove it from Oregon to Nevada and back last week and haven't had a chance to wash it yet.

Got my truck back after about 10 days and a vacation. Had the following done:
S&S CP4 to DCR conversion
Pusher Intake
Pusher Upper Radiator Hose
Pusher Hot and Cold Side Piper
S&B Map Relocation
No Limit Fab Polished Intercooler
Bullet Proof Diesel EGR Cooler Core
Fox 2.0 Shocks with Reservoirs all the way around
Baja Design Squadron Fog Lights

The throttle response seems much more lively now. Can definitely hear the engine much better (love that V8 growl).

Huge shout out to Diesels Unlimited in Elkton, MD. They did a fantastic job. From drop off to pick up, they did exactly what they said, when they said they were going to do it. No BS and VERY reasonable prices. If anyone needs a shop in the DMV, HIGHLY recommend Diesels Unlimited.

Left to do: Noxudol Undercoating, Suntex PPF on the front and lower sides, and Modesta Ceramic Coating, and IGLA or Ravelco

Very nice! I wish my DMV did this kind of work. By the way, please don't mention IGLA or Ravelco. It's a security issue on this forum and we wouldn't want to lock up this thread 🤪
